I've now heard from two people who have not received quilts from the June swap.
Seriously, if you know you are going to be busy during a particular month -- don't sign up!
Deadlines are not a suggestion. They are deadlines!
This is the primary reason I decided to resign as hostess.
To all of you who send beautiful quilts that stay with the theme and are on time, thank you.
You are the ones who have made this swap a joy.
To the others --- really????
Is this how you would like to be treated?
This is not OK.
Done with my rant.
Be good to BuzzinBumble. Please.

Could be, just maybe a real good reason. One participant (can't remember who) posted pictures of her package that was late - her partner had been in an accident and missed the deadlines (understandable). Just playing devil's advocate here - I agree with K that deadlines are to be kept and for me, that's always been a thorn in my side. I'm waiting for a package on another swap here - it's way late. Oh, well...

My Red, White and Blue quilt from debbyg
Look what I received from debbyg! She really put a lot of thought into this awesome quilt. Notice the maple leaves - very nice touch, "America" on the top, "Canada" on the bottom, part of Canada's anthem "Our home and native land" on the left, and part of America's anthem "God shed his grace on thee" on the right. Some bling on the pin cushion and scissors, and she even quilted the label! Thank you so much Debby, I love it!!

Wow Debby! You made a completely amazing quilt for Bilben! How wonderful that you combine Canada and the US in their anthems written on the side. It is very moving AND you did a really good job at it!
